Summary:
“Ah, Lan Zhan, you will not believe what kind of divination I got! Now I feel embarrassed for dragging you here.”
Lan Wangji raised an eyebrow, an unpleasant feeling in his chest. There was a distinct impression of Wei Ying’s dramatics hiding true disappointment.
“You know what she said?” Wei Ying asked, with levity in his voice that was so perfect Lan Wangji could have been fooled, had it not been for the way Wei Ying kept his gaze away from him. “I’m never going to get married!”

“Ah. This man will bring Master Lan some heartache, I am afraid,” she said, and with the words, Lan Wangji couldn’t help but freeze, eyes widening ever so slightly. How could she know? Lan Wangji’s heartbeat was suddenly going out of rhythm. A guess such as this from a fraud would be risky, even insulting to an everyday customer. How could she know that his love was a man?
~~
according to the fortune teller, Wei Ying would not get married, and Lan Wangji would. A happy marriage, the woman had described it. How could a marriage be happy, if it was not with Wei Ying? Lan Wangji felt sick thinking about it. The woman had been right; his love was both deep and devoted. It would be a betrayal against both himself and Wei Ying to move on to someone new.
~~
Was there a person in the sects who could compare to Wei Ying? Was there another person walking the earth who could make his heart ache so maddeningly? The thought was unimaginable.

wwx: will i have a wife? fortune teller, getting a thousand visions of wwx calling himself lwj's wife: no wwx: elaborate fortune teller: i don't want to
😂😂😂
themes I have identified in mxtx's work:
good intentions are useless without the ability to execute them. however, that doesn't mean they aren't important
when you set yourself on fire to keep others warm the people you're trying to help usually end up burning too
consider problem solving solutions other than trading genocides back and forth
hereditary nobility is a farce
the people in charge are just as liable to be selfish, overwhelmed, greedy, and incompetent as anybody else
clear and honest communication is very important in a relationship. or else.
better late than never.

complicated feelings on jiang fengmian aside, i think the reason i don’t buy into the whole “jfm favoured wei wuxian much more than his son” and tend to agree with wwx’s words to jc that of course jfm would be more stern with jc because jc’s his son is because—my asian parenting experience has been somewhat the same (and i actually think this might be a bit of a universal experience regardless), not in the exact way mxtx portrays this relationship but in that my parents and parents of every single person i have ever known (mostly; there are always a few exceptions) show this pattern of being sweet and cordial and generally non-disciplinary towards kids who aren’t their own and being way stricter and more stern with their own children because they are the ones they are parenting. there’s almost this mutually known boundary that you don’t go and yell at another’s kid to correct bad behaviour, rather the impetus of imparting important values and lessons is reserved as your right for your own kids. that’s how i’ve always read jiang fengmian’s dynamic with wei wuxian vs jiang cheng. he was stern with jc because that’s his son and heir, someone he cares for very deeply. on the other hand, he does care for wei wuxian as well but he has never crossed that mental boundary from uncle to father figure in his head and his interactions with wei wuxian have never read as paternal or favourably partial over jc to me.
WangXian–The coolest kids in Gusulan! ✌
Mini WangXian/WuJi dump! Because Wei Ying being taller than Lan Zhan in The Untamed will always be a source of amusement and delight for me.
I still love them so much! My babies forever. ❤
jin ling asking jiang cheng about if yunmeng jiang truly was eradicated almost to extinction, lan jingyi asking lan xichen about the burning down of the library, but most importantly:
lan sizhui, approaching wei wuxian: wei-qianbei! i apologise for being so direct, but was there really someone who could melt spiritual cores? and, if someones core was melted, would restoration be possible?
